Cordyceps, red rice, suga tea, and ema datshi are all part of our discussion with the Chief Engineer for the School Planning and Building Division of the Ministry of Education in Bhutan, Karma Sonam.
Karma is in Fairfield researching and working on a cooperative project with staff at Maharishi University of Management to build a sustainable school building in a remote Bhutanese mountain village. With his help, we'll take a peek into the food culture of Bhutan, and enjoy the country's national dish, ema datshi, made with hot chills and cheese.
